Royal Family Member, Princess Anne, Undergoes Surgery for Broken Arm - Royal Family Member, Princess Anne, Struggles Amidst Personal Scandals and Public Controversies
Let's get deep into the action, shall we? Princess Anne, the 74-year-old royal, graced the "Trooping the Colour" parade last year, her first public appearance on horseback since her unfortunate mishap! She rode alongside her bro, Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex (61), and Prince William (42). It's been awhile since ol' King Charles III (76) and Queen Camilla (77) took a horseback ride, but this time they opted for a carriage instead.
At the grand birthday bash for King Charles, Anne donned the uniform of the "Blues and Royals," a cavalry regiment in the British Army. According to the "Mirror," she reclaimed her traditional spot of "Gold Stick in Waiting," a role that dates back to Tudor times, responsible for keeping the monarch safe. Intriguingly, if my sources don't deceive me, Anne saddled up Noble, the same steed she rode the year prior, which, as fate would have it, King Charles had under him in 2023.
Ancient Amnesia: Anne's Blurred Memories
This appearance was a major milestone for Princess Anne. Reminder: it's been a min since her equestrian ordeal at Gatcombe Park, where she took a rough tumble last June, resulting in a mild concussion and some hard knocks to the noggin. Shedding some light, she laid low at Southmead Hospital in Bristol for five days after the accident. A month later, at a horse shindig, she admitted she couldn't recall a darn thing about the accident or her hospital stay. "They filled in the gaps, which was partly really useful to know what happened," she thanked the medical staff. "Because I unfortunately really have no idea, and I have no great memories of being here."
